Training School on Advanced Instrumentation and  Analytical Techniques for Natural Products

Chemistry has been called the science of what things are. It's intent is the exploration of the nature of the material that make up our physical environment, different properties and their ultimate structure of modifications for further exploitation. To support the R&D progress instruments have been very much crucial catalysts.

Over the years the development of these tools has become increasingly sophisticated to make their use simpler and now these have become as indispensable tool for R & D work. To keep pace with the sophistication in these tools, it is necessary to simultaneously upgrade the skills of all the concerns in this field as a human resource development venture. To fulfill this important objective, CIMAP is organizing seven days summer school on applications and principles of working of the sophisticated instrumentation from

CST 2010 | CIMAP Summer Training on Techniques and Tools of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics

What is this all about?
CIMAP Summer Training on Techniques and Tools of  Biotechnology and Bioinformatics - 2010
CST - 2010 28th June – 23rd July, 2010

In recent years, the field of biotechnology has appeared as the expression of wonderful applications of various techniques of molecular biology. Today there is hardly any application area involving biological systems, which doesn't depend on these techniques and concepts. It is logical to anticipate that future decade in this century will witness the major scientific advancements through the application of these cellular, genetics and molecular tools and skills. Towards maintaining the pace with the new developments and achieving a cutting edge in biotechnological applications globally, it is necessary to inculcate these skills and expertise through systematic training of human resource by exposing young scholars to modern tools and sophisticated techniques of Plant Biotechnology and Bioinformatics. Bioinformatics is the real multidisciplinary science where technologies from different fields interact. In a strict sense bioinformatics is the study of how information is represented and transmitted in biological systems. Times have changed in the years since the human genome was identified. Now any biological research becomess worthful research after applying bioinformatics in it. And that is what exactly this training planned for graduate scholars (CST-2010) aims at. The course is running successfully
